In a day, the group of disciples went from scared and hiding to evangelizing the world in at least 15 different languages! The fulfillment of the great commission was well on its way with the arrival of the Holy Spirit's! What could be more compelling than that?

Wow! I wonder what it would have been like to hear dozens of disciples speaking in dozens of languages at the same time! And no matter what language I spoke, I would have heard the gospel being shared in MY OWN language. But what about Peter's message? He spoke in his native tongue we assume. But what did people hear? Did they hear their own language? Was his message being interpreted by the Holy Spirit into their ears? Who knows?

We do know that around 3,000 were baptized that day! One great way (actually the biblical way) to declare our faith is in believer's baptism. Notice how often in the book of Acts that people would believe and, almost immediately, get baptized. Have we believed? Have we been baptized since we believed? If not, why not?

Within a week 60 people were baptized in Cornerstone! The Holy Spirit is still doing His work! In the past year we have seen over 300 new believers take this step of faith. It is so much fun to be a part of a church like Cornerstone.
